GOING: G

DANCINGINTHEDARK M USA @ ALDEBARAN PARK TROTTERS HANDICAP (SKY 2) 2230m

Track: GOOD      

KYVALLEY HEIST (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4 metres from the winner in second over 2230m at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. SKYBREEZE (7) made a nice return at his latest appearance nine days ago, finishing 8 metres away in third over 2230m at this track. Has the ability to take care of this field. WISHING STAR (1) can secure a cosy run early, and he is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 2230m at this track nine days ago. XEBEC (2) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2230m at this track. Each way value.

Has been mixing his form of late, most recently 4th (Fr5) over 2230m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, beaten 8 m by So Vogue (2:50.10) in NR up to 63 on June 7 at $13.

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 6th (FT Fr2) over 2230m at this track, beaten 40 m by Doff Your Cap (2:50.70) in NR 64 or better on June 7 at $10. Before that 4th (Fr5) over 2230m at this track, at the bell was 6th-11.8 beaten 12 m by Doff Your Cap (2:51.10) in NR 62 or better on May 31 at $34. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Doff Your Cap at this track over 2645m in a NR 58 or better on May 24 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Doff Your Cap at this track over 2230m in a NR 64 or better on June 7 at $4.80. Very hard to beat.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort when 3rd (10m Fr1) over 2230m at this track beaten 8 m by Doff Your Cap (2:50.70) in NR 64 or better on June 7 at $7. Strong chance with that run under the belt.
